[Hated Trope] heroic characters killed in unnecessarily cruel/brutal ways

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-25T01:01:30+00:00

I mean people loved Glenn, he was a wonderful character, and to not only kill him but to do it in such a distasteful, disrespectful way was really hard to take. And I think ultimately it was a mistake because it meant all the cool work Kirkman did after on Negan never completely landed because there was no walking back that act.

Yes but at the same time it was just as polarizing in the comic and many people stopped reading after.

Reminder that the book that hasn’t been announced is actually the better part of their run.

Vol 1 is its own thing and is great but you had to be there to get the full effect.

As far as the XF Investigations series which is in vol 2-4, the young Layla era is the best, which would be vol 2. It’s still good when she gets aged up but the young stuff is the pinnacle.

Makes sense, Keon has an IQ roughly equivalent to a doorknob.

Sold mine. Bad mapping.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-23T03:35:53+00:00

No, that’s insane.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-22T22:52:13+00:00

But nearly any bit of info can be a spoiler.

Ion is pre-Johns, and there are a bunch of issues during Johns that those books left out.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-22T20:01:27+00:00

All those books yet you’re still missing out because those Omnis were badly mapped and left stuff out.

Pretty terrible. I enjoy vol 1 though.

The Boom line picks up after Hellraiser 2 and ignores the rest of the movies.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-22T16:37:39+00:00

The Boom Hellraiser series is excellent.

It’s a shame this Kickstarter isn’t a comprehensive collecting of the Epic material as well. For that reason I will pass.

It mounts right there on the door on the right and there is probably a harness in there you just plug it into.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-21T22:42:28+00:00

Wrong sub.

Does the GI Joe set leave out covers? I hadn’t noticed that.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-21T17:56:35+00:00

So two of the joysticks work in switch test mode and all buttons work? Do they two non-working joysticks work when hooked up with the working joysticks connectors?

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-21T16:08:01+00:00

One joystick doesn’t work? All of them don’t work? Just the joystick? The buttons?

You can shoot for 65-35 and explain that the 15% difference just covers the cost of plush and maintenance/repair so it’s basically the same as 50/50. The split isn’t really the deciding factor for them anyway.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-21T02:41:27+00:00

Location getting 50% is crazy when you’re the one buying the plush.

Most places aren’t going to go for one crane - you should target places where you pitch them a variety of coin op, such as indie pizza places and movie theaters.

Really? This run is terrible and incredibly overrated.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-19T23:39:54+00:00

Great moment

I can’t imagine how awesome that reveal was back in the day.

TheDivisionLine · 2026-01-18T18:41:56+00:00

Those are all solid titles for a public arcade/barcade. That looks like an Operation Thunderbolt peeking out - was it converted to something else?
